Helen Pollard

Thank you so much to the lovely publishers and netgalley for allowing me to review this book xx

I was absolutely thrilled to bits when I saw that Helen had written another book in the series after been engulfed in book one I just hoped book two wouldn't disappoint.
It most certainly didn't. It was great to meet up with the old characters, they felt like old friends. The book had so much fun and the story was wonderful and just like in the first book, I was sad when it came to the end. I love how Helen sets the scene of the area of the guest house, so much so I swear I could smell the fresh garlic wafting through my open window as I read the book on my bed.
This really is another wonderfully written, curly uppy on the sofa kind of book, I absolutely adored it.… (meer)

The publisher's blurb is a good place to start with this somewhat peaceful story that takes place from Halloween to Christmas at an artist retreat and local mainstay. The characters are all so well portrayed (especially the poisonous drip of a money mad cousin) and the situations the characters find themselves in ( hospitalized, lack of money issues) are all too believable. No spoilers though. This is the perfect book for a dingy weather weekend in uncertain times. I loved it (even though I usually prefer nonfiction or cozy mysteries)!
I requested and received a free ebook copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you!… (meer)
